ViewFont

ViewFont is a dubious application, whose main purpose is not to provide its users with useful or convenient features. Instead, its main functionality concerns the delivery of annoying advertisements to the user's Mac devices. Users with such adware applications present on their devices risk being presented with advertisements promoting questionable hoax websites, phishing pages, fake giveaways, or even platforms promoting more PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). Users should keep in mind that the advertisements generated by such questionable applications may take the form of pop-ups, in-text links, banners, etc. 

PUPs also may be equipped with additional intrusive functionality. Most often, this involves collecting various data from the device they are installed on. Indeed, users risk having their browsing history, search history and all clicked links collected by the PUP. The PUP also may harvest device details, such as IP addresses, geolocation, browser type, device type and more. In the most threatening cases, users also may have the autofill data saved into their browsers exposed. The compromised information could include account credentials, banking details and payment information (credit/debit card numbers).
